Letter to the Editor
Student's LSAT experience at Penn State unpleasant

This is in response to yesterday's article "Study: Conditions poor for law test." I took the LSAT's in February and it was a make-or-break experience for me. If I didn't perform well I would have to wait another round for law school admissions.

I for one had the same conditions as everyone else: tiny desks and cold temperatures. The poor lady next to me kept dropping her pencil because of the awkward configuration of having to balance a booklet whose pages are frequently turned and an answer sheet that needs to be continuously filled out. The lights in the classroom went off three times.

Yes, three times.

If LSAC wants to rebutt any negative reviews of University Park's testing sites by saying it hasn't received "recent complaints," then that is simply wrong. The motion sensor lights turn themselves off after a prolonged period of inactivity. This should be a "red flag" for LSAC, and they should change the testing environment simply for security purposes.
